Schumer Demands Fox Stop Airing Unedited Footage Of Congress

Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling on the owner of Fox News to prevent network host Tucker Carlson from releasing any more footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol that House Democrats hid from the public for two years. Carlson’s team reviewed more than 40,000 hours of video from that day and on Monday aired previously unseen footage that contradicts numerous falsehoods peddled by Democrat politicos and corporate media.

On Tuesday, Schumer melodramatically told reporters that Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch “has a special obligation” to bar Carlson from airing more unedited footage from Jan. 6 “because our democracy depends on it.”

The comments echo remarks Schumer gave during a temper tantrum on the Senate floor earlier in the day, in which he accused Carlson’s Monday night program of being “one of the most shameful hours … ever seen on cable television” and similarly called on Murdoch to prohibit the release of more Jan. 6 footage.

You can't have 'democracy' if you shut up any dissent.

There's nothing left to vote for.

Somebody on Tucker's staff should dump all of the footage onto a publicly-accessible server, so we can all see the footage and judge for ourselves.  We don't need to have the truth curated for us by people with ulterior motives.

I suspect Schmucky has never, ever read the First Amendment.
